December 25th, Tuesday. Christmas Day.
Cindy had spend the night at Jimmy's, both coincidentally waking up at the same time.
"Merry Christmas Cindy" Jimmy was the first to speak up.
"Merry Christmas Jimmy" Cindy smleed back to her boyfriend before sitting up uncovered. Giving Jimmy quiet the view.
Cindys face of comfort immediately changed to a look of panic " Oh no, I messed up. Im supposed to be at my Aunt Susies for breakfast, where are my clothes?" Cindy began to search around Jimmy's room in full panic mode.
"No idea, but I'm almost positive I tore you underwear up last night" Jimmy winked at her. In that moment Cindys phone rang, it was her mother. She quickly answered it, while Jimmy got out of bed and dressed.
"Okay, gotcha. I'm sorry again" Cindy hung up the phone, a smile on her face. Her mother had forgave her for missing out on breakfast, her aunt however demanded she make it up to her in the gym tomorrow. To which Cindy happily agreed to.
"Good news?" Jimmy noticed the smile on her face.
"Good and bad news, good news is im off the hook for missing breakfast. Bad news is I have to go." Cindy had finally found her shirt and the rest of her clothes scattered around the floor.
Jimmy summoned Goddard "Well before you leave, I guess I can give you one of your presents. Goddard present gift number one" Goddard obeyed his master.
Jimmy and Cindy had agreed to keep the gift giving small this year, nothing but small items or essentials. They came to this agreement after deciding to come home. That was their big gift to each other.
"I might have overheard you the other day speaking to Libby about how you lost your bag at Stanford" Jimmy gestured to Goddard who popped out a Vera Bradley handbag.
Cindy insepected the bag it was cute,and perfect to finish out the semester in. She gave Jimmy a quick kiss. "Thank you, come over in like an hour. My parents should still be out, I'll give you your first present." Cindy winked at her boyfriend, as she put on her boots.
"Wow Cindy, round two already?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows and winked at his girlfriend.
"No, you dork" Cindy laughed, before turning to Goddard asking him to fly her over to her house somewhat silently if he could. The canine agreed and they took off.
Jimmy walked downstairs after hearing his mom call after him.
"Yeah mom" Jimmy was in a great mood, last night was perfect and this morning was almost as good. Hopefully the day could continue like this.
" First of all Merry Christmas honey, and next time, give me a heads up Cindy is going to be spending the night" Judy tried to contain her smile.
"How did you know?"
Judy pointed to the window " Well, I see Goddard dropping her of right now, and you reek of intercourse. Everything is pointing to her having spent the night"
Jimmy could only nervous laugh " Haha, sorry."
Cindy thanked a departing Goddard for the ride. She began to make a list of the things that needed to be done as she entered her house. Okay, take the escargot out of the oven, shower real quick, get Jimmy's gifts.
She headed straight for the kitchen, pulling out the escargot from the oven, they smelled fantastic. A garlicy buttery aroma, however because of the texture it was a food most people would need an aquired taste for.
Her mother had insisted on making french cuisine this year, as she does every year. Hopefully the Neutrons would enjoy it like she enjoyed it. Cindy turned the oven off and bolted upstairs to take a quick shower , Jimmy would be here in no time.
An hour later the doorbell rang, Cindy was drying her hair upstairs " Come in" she shouted. After a few seconds she heard the door open. " Just sit in the living room, I'll be right down" Cindy put on sweats and a T-shirt, grabbing Jimmy's gift she rushed downstairs.
" Hey Cind, I don't wanna rush anything, but Grandma Neutron is stopping by at the house for milk and cookies. She looks like she'll croak at any moment" Jimmy was much too casual about things sometimes.
Cindy only rolled her eyes at his statement. "That's fine, my parents will be home soon anyway." She took a seat next to Jimmy on the couch
Cindy picked up her first gift to Jimmy handing it to him. When he first brought up the idea of smaller gifts this year she easily agreed. He was a genuis, he could make anything he wanted. However he lacked basic things.
Jimmy opened up his first gift , almost like a little kid. Making a mess everywhere. "It was a crystal decanter set, almost exactly like the one he broke last week when he was talking to Sheen. This one was engraved with the letter N.
" N for Neutron, hopefully this one is a bit more sturdy" Cindy added hoping he liked it.
Jimmy laughed " Hopefully I won't break this one, thank you Cindy" wrapping his arm around her.
Cindy reached behind the couch, grabbing his second gift and handing it to him. Jimmy observed the medium sized box taking off its gift wrap. " Bulova" he read "Sounds fancy"
Jimmy raised the cover off the box. Revealing a blue faced, gold edged watch, with a leather brown band. Jimmy lifted the watch up carefully observing it "Hmmmmm." This made Cindy nervous, damn it she should of went with the all black, stainless steel version, she thought to herself.
" I love it, it'll make a suitable replacement for my watch when I'm upgrading it." This watch was definitely his style, he just wanted to rile up Cindy.
Cindy took a breath of relief " Ugh I thought you hated it for a second."
"No, I would let you know If I hated it, you know that." Jimmy smiled as he reached for the huge holliday themed bag he brought, handing it to her. Jimmy was not much of gift wrapper and Cindy knew that.
Cindy began digging into the parchment paper filled bag, pulling out a heart shaped collage. It was atleast made up of fifty different photos. Jimmy went on to explain.
"These are photos I gathered of us over the years, here's us at the candy bar. Here's us at graduation, oh and here's us in the Condo is San Diego. Jimmy kissed her cheek. Cindy could feel her emotions creep up on her. Geez, when did she get so soft? she asked herself, biting her lip to prevent any tears from dropping.
"It's beautiful"
"It took me a bit of time to make it, I'm not very creative when it comes to this kind of stuff." Jimmy kissed her cheek again and stood up.
"I'm going to head home, now. Grandma neutron calls. I hope you like your gifts as much as I like mine. We'll do the last one before dinner tonight. Bye!'
Cindy was so enamored by her gift she didn't notice the front door close. She didn't expect a creative gift like this from Jimmy, it wasn't really his style. She was really lucky, her favorite picture had to of been the one they took back in the sixth grade at Retroville Park. They agreed to leave their constant fighting in the past and Jimmy sealed it with a kiss on her cheek. It was also the moment Cindy fell for Jimmy completely.
"Hugh, could you please take the prime rib out of the oven, so it can rest. The Vortex family should be over and second" Judy asked from upstairs, curling the last of her hair.
"I''m on it suger booger, OWW" Hugh grabbed his hand in pain.
Don't forget to use the oven mitt" Judy sang back to him.
-Ding dong- Jimmy darted to the front door opening it, revealing the Vortex family each one carrying a different dish.
Jimmy stepped aside ,allowing the guest to come in. " Come on in, make yourself at home."
" Merry Christmas Jimmy, so good to see you" Mr. Vortex shook Jimmys hand.
"Indeed, so good to finally see you James. it only took Christmas dinner for that to happen." Mrs. Vortex eyed Jimmy.
Jimmy began scratching is head unsure of what to say. He looked over to Cindy who only gave him a half smile and shrugged.
Jimmy laughed nervously " Haha about that-"
Mrs. Vortex cut in. " No need for an explanation, Merry Christmas." Jimmy only smiled in response, Mrs. Vortex sure was ruthless.
"Howdy neighbors from across the street. Merry Christmas and welcome to our humble abode" Hugh bowed, upon seeing that the guest had arrived. Shaking their hands.
" Cindy , so good to see you. You're looking as gorgeous as ever." Hugh pulled her into a hug, squeezing her a little too tightly.
" Thanks, Mr. N, likewise." Cindy had to try to catch her breath after that hug.
Judy came down the stairs, greeting everyone and instructing them to follow her into the kitchen and place their food with the rest. After that Hugh and Mr. Vortex took a seat at the dinner table, while Cindy and Jimmy sneaked off into his room. Judy and Sasha remained in the kitchen.
" I haven't seen you at book club, the past few weeks." Judy initatied the small talk, she was curious.
" I had to give it up, what with all the planning and what not about the move, I got preoccupied." Sasha answered honestly.
" I see, how did Cindy take it?" Judy stuck a thermostat into the prime rib just to double check it it was cooked properly. She already knew the answer to her question, Cindy was definitly heartbroken.
"Well, Cynthia is Cynthia, so at first not well. However her Father and I came up with a better conclusion."
" What would that be?" Judy knew she was being a bit nosey, but it wasn't like Sasha didn't want to tell her, she obviously did.
Sasha took a deep breath. " We're giving the house to Cindy." she replied cooly and returned her focus to the lobster tails infront of her.
Judy stopped and turned to Sasha who had her back to her. She was in awe never would have seen this coming. From what she had heard their buyer was going to pay a lot of money for that house.
Sasha turned around to wash her hand seeing the look on Judys face "Oh don't give me that look, to put it simple she deserves it, she's worked hard. Never asks for any favors, it's her home now.."
Judy smiled " What a beautiful gift, from a pair of caring parents." This caused a smile to occur on Sashas face. Sasha and Judy weren't friends by any means, hoewever they did share one thing in common. They both want what's best for their children.
Jimmy and Cindy were currently in his room, again. "By my calculations dinner shouldn't start for another ten minutes, more than enough time to exchange gifts." Cindy didn't even bother asking how he figured that out.
Cindy digged into her purse pulling out an envelope. " Here" she handed it to Jimmy, with one big smile on her face.
He quickly opened it up, " Tickets to the world science fair in-"
"In New York City" Cindy spoke up before he could finish. As much as Jimmy loved science he rarely had any fun with it. He was always working and rarely traveled outside of California. This was a perfect getaway for him.
"I bought the plane tickets online a while ago, as long as you can get away from work for a week in May. We're going to New York City." Cindy was beyond excited she knew Jimmy wouldn't expect this, especially after they agreed on small gifts only.
"Wow, I really don't know what to say, this is awesome. I've never been to the World Science fair." Or New York for that matter." He was beyond excited for this oppurtinity and he'd get to do it all with Cindy. " I can't wait."
Jimmy reached under his pillows, pulling out two slim black bracelet boxes, handing one to Cindy and keeping one for himself.
"Were these under the pillows, all night? How did I not feel them?"
"You were busy feeling something else" Jimmy winked, causing Cindy to blush, she walked right into that one, she had to admit.
Cindy opened the black box finding a gold chained bracelet with a plate. On the plate the letters J.I.N were engraved.
"Those are my initials, I got one for myself too" He pulled out his bracelet, on it the letters engraved were C.A.V Jimmy wasn't one to wear jewelry like this or jewelry in general.
"Jimmy it's beautiful, we have matching bracelets now, that's so sweet" Cindy pulled Jimmy in for a kiss, looking each other in the eyes.
"I can't wait until you officialy move in with me and be done with school" The past few months had been stressful for JImmy, he just wanted Cindy to
"Move?" she questioned hereself. At that moment she remembered that her parents were gifting her the house. She had been so caught up with everything that she forgot to tell Jimmy.
"Oh my god Jimmy, I almost forgot to tell you. It's about my parents and the house."
"Go on"
"Well they're not-" Before Cindy could finish her sentence, two familiar voices called for them almost as if they were still children.
"JAMES ISAAC NEUTRON'
"CYNTHIA AURORA VORTEX"
Both mothers shouted each taking a turn " Dinner is served, won't be waiting any longer" Judy and Sasha were in perfect harmony.
" How about I just tell you after dinner?"
"Sounds good" Both Cindy and Jimmy rushed downstairs, not wanting to keep their mothers waiting.
They both awkwardly took their seats at the dinner table. Judy and Hugh sat at the heads of the table, Jimmy and Cindy sat on one side of the the tanle while the Vortex parents sat on the other.
"So nice of you two to join us" Sasha said, looking over to Cindy and Jimmy.
"We were just talking up there" Jimmy spat out rather nerviously. He had faced countless villians and foes in his day. Why did Mrs. Vortex indimidate him so much? Damn, he needed a drink and dinner hadn't even started yet.
Cindy ignored the awkard exchange between Jimmy and her mother, instead admiring the Christmas feast infront of her. Lobster tails, escargot and roasted carrots that her mother prepared. While Mrs. Neutron had made mashed potatos, steamed vegetables and a prime rib she was currently carving.
Mr. Vortex was practically drooling "Wow, that looks amazing. You know Neutron we've been neighbors for years, and I've probably been over five times. What gives? He turned to look at Hugh who was to the right of him.
'Yeah, you know, you're right. I can't remember the last time a neighbor came over, It was probaby Wheezer." Hugh could only scratch his head.
"Well at least we got to come over one last time before the big move" Mr. Vortex turned to his wife and then Cindy who smiled back. Jimmy had noticed the exchange, he was happy she finally accepted the changes that were going to happen.
Judy served the last piece of prime rib to herself "Dinner is officialy served." everyone began to dig in upon hearing that.
"Hey Sasha, what are these called again? Hugh asked Sasha for what seemed to be the millionth time.
"Escargot"
"Escar-what now?" It was almost as if Hugh was doing this on purpose to piss off Sasha.
She could feel her patience begin to fade. "Just try it, the name doesn't matter."
"If you say so" Hugh lifted the snail into his mouth , crunching down on it. "OWW, I think I broke a tooth" Hugh cried out in pain immediatly touching his tooth.
" Yeah, you're not supposed to eat the whole shell." Mr. Vortex was more than amsued and Cindy was trying hard to hold in her laughter.
Cindy finally controlled her laughter. She explained to Hugh that he was only supposed to eat what was inside of the shell, using the baby fork to his right to fish it out.
"Would anyone care for some wine? My friend was just in France, this bottle is from Bordeaux." Judy looked around holding the bottle.
" I'd love one" Both Cindy and her mother said in union, turning to look at one another, they smiled.
"You've become quiet the drinker these past few years"
"Blame grandma" Cindy was all too quick to accuse someone in this situation.
"You remind me a lot of-"
"Grandma?" Cindy interrupted.
"No, myself" Sasha smiled to her daughter who was across from her, taking a large sip of her wine. Cindy could only smile back ,a bit surprised.
Dinner was coming along surprisingly well, not fights or arguements, well, atleast not yet.
"So James" Mrs' Vortex looked over to Jimmy.
"Yes!" Jimmy sat up quickly and yet again sounded nervous. Cindy just gave him a what the hell look.
How's work going in San Diego, Mr. Vortex and I would should visit again" Mrs. Vortex sounded bored, even she didn't seem interested in what she just said.
"Well ,work is work, just waiting for Cindy to finish school and move in. You two are always welcome to visit." Jimmy finally relaxed after answering Mrs Vortex question without hesitation.
"Glad you too are making moves" put in his input while finishing up what was left on his plate.
Mrs. Vortex looked over to Jimmy, almost as if she was glaring at him. " Yes "moves."
Jimmy knew this conversation was coming sooner rather than later , he just didn't expect it to be over Christmas dinner. Oh boy, it also didn't help that Cindy excused herself to go to the ladies room. He was left alone, in the lions den, with Mrs. Vortex being the only lion.
Mrs. Vortex spoke up " Let's just keep things simple, James." Mr. Vortex must have know what was coming along same with Judy. Hugh not so much.
"Honey over dinner?, I though we agreed you would wait a little longer." tried to argue in favor of Jimmy but to no avail.
"No,let her speak" Judy pleaded to Mr. Vortex. Even his own mother was anxious to hear what Sasha had to say.
She nodded and proceeded. " James, you and Cynthia have been dating for five years now and have been inlove for even longer. So she moves in, then what exactly?
Jimmy looked on confused, not really understanding.
"What I'm trying to say is why haven't you asked her to marry you yet?" Jimmy grew irritated upon hearing that.
"Why does it matter to everyone? You of all people I thought, would be the last one to even care. Shouldn't you be encouraging us to wait until she's done with school?" Jimmy was heating up.
" Of course I care, she's my daughter. I've always known Cindy could handle her academics, no matter what. She never needed me to push her" Jimmy however found that hard to believe.
"What about when we were younger? How do you explain all the pushing and unrealistically high expectations you had for her at that age?" Jimmy fired back.
Mrs' Vortex glared over to him "I only pushed her so she could be better than you!" at this point Mr. Vortex had to intervene.
" Jimmy , honey, let's not ruin dinner over this, really." He looked over to Judy for backup, but to no avail. She was just silent, observing the heated conversation going on infront of her.
"No, it's fine, we've made it this far, keep going, lay it on me lady." At this point Jimmy didn't care anymore. He always tried his best to be warm and welcoming to Mrs. Vortex, only for her to just brush him off and belittle him.
And infact Mrs. Vortex did lay it on him "It's no secret that I despised you when you were younger, always being better academically than Cindy."
"Uh huh"
"Placing the town and Cindys life in danger multiple times.
"Keep going"
" I always had thought Cindy could do better than you." That was the last breaking point for Jimmy, he stood up not wanting to listen to anything else this woman had to say.
"Sit down right now Jimmy" Judy had called out to her son, she was the last person he'd expect to defend Mrs. Vortex.
"Why should I? I have nothing to say to her." He gestured to the woman sitting infront of him.
"Because I was wrong Jimmy" Mrs. Vortexs replied, her tone and demeanor took a huge turn. Hugh was just observing mouth open, not believing what he was hearing.
"About everything, I was wrong about everything. Yes I was hard on Cindy but It wasn't me who brought out the best in her, academically it was you. From the look on Mrs. Vortex eyes, Jimmy could tell she was being sincere.
"Yes, you've put the town and Cindy in danger many times, but you've always saved them multiple times as well." Mrs. Vortex made sure to make eye contact with Jimmy during this next part of their conversation.
"And for the longest time I did believe that she could do better, but you always proved me wrong. Always being respectful and inviting towards me, even as a little boy. While I was cold and bitter" Sasha recalled how Jimmy would always say good morning or hello, the little things mattered.
"The look and demeanor Cynthia always gives off when she's around you. Is of someone who cares deeply about you. The reason I'm pushing for a marriage is because true love is scarce these days. Cynthia is kind and loving, however she acts on Impulse, I don't want her to let a gentleman like you, somehow get away." Mrs. Vortex took a deep breath after her everything she just said, she grabbed a napkin to wipe off her eyes that began to water.
Jimmy looked around the room, his father suprisingly kept up with everything. Mr. Vortex smiled at him before wrapping an arm around his wife. While his mother was sitting with her arms crossed, one huge smile on her face. Lasty he turned to Mrs' Vortex not really knowing how he should feel.
" Thank you, Mrs' Vortex, thank you for the honesty and the kind words." Jimmy smiled to her, he never would of thought she supported his relationship with her daughter this much. " Cindy and I have been through rough times, and I'm positive we'll go through some more. However one thing that won't ever change is how much I love your daughter, and how much I really do want to marry her. Jimmy had passion in his voice as he directed his words to both of Cindys parents, but they already knew that.
" I can't wait to see a ring on her" Sasha exclaimed. That saying was like a broken record, Jimmy really needed to stop hearing it.
Jimmy was beyond happy, finally any problem with Mrs. Vortex was settled. He knew she wouldn't change her ways or attitude that's just who she was. However at least he knew that she liked and appreciated him.
"Actually Mrs. Vortex, you won't have to wait-" Jimmy started up before being interrupted by his girlfriend.
"I'm back, what did I miss? And why do I feel a weird sense of relief?" She questioned everyone.
"Well you did just go to the bathroom" Hugh spoke his first words since the heated debate had started. Obviously not knowing that's not what Cindy meant.
Sasha smiled at her daughter " Nothing dear, Jimmy here was just sharing how excited he was for you to finally move in with him, your father and I are so proud of you two."
"Thank you" Cindy didn't know why her mother was being so warm, but she wasn't about to complain about it.
"This calls for an early celebration" Judy began pouring champagne for everyone, handing out glasses she turned to her son. "Jimmy, would you like to do the toast?"
"Gladly" Jimmy raised his glass in the air. To friends he thought of Carl, Sheen and Libby before looking around the room at the people around him, and to Family. CHEERS!"
"So tell me again why we're leaving?" The party was just getting started. "Our parents are getting hammered. We have to get back in there." Cindy rarely saw her mother as drunk as she was, maybe she'd run home and grab her camera.
Jimmy shook his head "What we're doing is going to be one hundred times better, plus they won't even notice we're gone" Cindy nodded getting into his car.
Cindy kept questioning Jimmy on where they were going, he just told her to keep her eyes on the road and she'd find out.
After a few right turns that he took, she immediatly knew where they were going. She thought back to her second gift from him.
Jimmy began to feel nervous, "why am I nervous?" He asked himself, he was distracted until Cindy shook him out of his trance.
"Jimmy look" Cindy pointed to the sky " It's snowing, It's snowing in Retroville!" Cindy was beyond giddy, sure she saw snow before. She's been to Colorado, however snow in Retroville was rare these days.
Jimmy looked up, he was definitely in awe "The last time it snowed here had to of been December of our junior year of highschool." "Its a miracle" he added.
The snow was light, but it was snow nontheless. Cindy was loving it, living In California days are always sunny, but there is snow. She just had to drive up a few mountains to get to it.
Jimmy on the other hand was focused on other things. He kept checking his coat pocket multiple times, just to make sure it was still in there ,despite knowing it wasn't going anywhere. Cindy had noticed this.
" Are you okay? Why do you keep checking your coat pocket?" Cindy was beginning to think dinner with her parents had scarred him.
Did Christmas dinner with my parents traumatize you that bad? Cindy smirked, and Jimmy relaxed at the slight change of topic.
"Of course not, we've had Christmas dinner with your parents before, I enjoyed this one actually"
"I'm sure" Cindy decided not to question him anymore, today was perfect, and she didn't want to ruin it.
Jimmy parked his car on the side of Retroville park, luckily they allowed people here on Christmas day. He observed a decent amount of people walking around "looks like we'll have an audience" he murmured softly to himself.
"Say something?" Cindy had excellent hearing.
"Me? Nope, but did you guess we'd come here?"
" I had a hunch." Cindy began to admire the Christmas tree, right in the center of the park. It was huge and so festive.
There was a lit up trail leading up to the huge tree. Jimmy was going to do it there, at the end of the trail and start of the Christmas tree. He just hoped Goddard would be on time, that dog was wild these days.
"Besides for the nostalgia, why exactly are we here?" Cindy asked. Her hand intertwined with his, as they walked the long trail down to the tree.
" I might have gotten you another gift" Jimmy revealed to his girlfriend who stopped walking along with him.
" I thought we agreed on 3?"
"No we agreed to keep it simple" Jimmy answered back. However this gift was anything but simple. Jimmy checked his watch, it was time and on cue Goddard arrived to the scene landing all the way down by the Christmas tree. You can always rely on a mans best friend.
"Look it's Goddard, where the hell has he been." Cindy rushed down to see ,and maybe scold him.
In that moment all the anxiousness and nervousness Jimmy felt earlier suddenly disappeared. Watching his greatest inventention/best friend arrive and seeing the love of his life rush down to greet him. Everything felt right
"Goddard, where have you been? You missed dinner." Cindy had half a mind to hide all his metal treats when she got back home.
" Bark, bark." Goddard pulled out his screen, showing Cindy a picture of himself in a Santa Claus hat accompanied by three female dogs.
Alright she couldn't be mad at him for missing dinner now " Damn Goddard, you dog you." she fist bumped him in approval.
Jimmy had finally caught up, he immediatly got on one knee. Pulling out a small black box from his coat pocket he faced it towards Cindy who still had her back facing him.
Goddard saw Jimmy come up "Bark bark" he nodded to his direction.
"What is it boy? Cindy asked
"Cindy'
Cindy turned around swiftly, seeing Jimmy on one knee. Her expression immediately changed.
"I've been waiting to do this for so, so long. The look in Jimmys eyes were of pure passion.
Cindy could only listen on, tears falling down her cheek.
"I love you, I've loved you since the first time I saw you, I will always love you"
After years of hearing people say Jimmy would never propose. Or that she was wasting her time, she always brushed those comments off. Knowing this day would come. She loved Jimmy with all her heart.
" Cythia Aurora Vortex, will you marry me?
Cindy had to compose herself to a second, she took a deep breath.
"James Isaac Neutron, Yes " Cindys had finally heard those perfect words she's always wanted to here.
Jimmy's heart skipped a beat "Then please allow me to put a ring on that finger" Jimmy gently slid the ring onto her finger.
"I love you Cindy"
"I love you Jimmy"
Jimmy pulled Cindy in for a passionate kiss.
People around the park watched the whole scene, they began to clap and cheer. " WOOHOOO CONGRATS" somone yelled out to them. Jimmy and Cindy finally pulled away from each other, not at all embarrassed for their PDA.
"Jimmy" Cindy looked up to him.
"Yes my fiance?" That was going to take some getting used to Cindy thought to herself.
"It's been a hectic past two days, with our friends and family I forgot to mention something really important."
"And what's that?"
Cindy couldn't control her excitement " My mom and dad decided to give me the house, they're not going to sell it can you believe it?."
Jimmy smiled looking down at his fiance. "That's absolutely amazing Cindy, I knew everything would work out"
"So when we get to that age where our hair turns grey, we get wrinkles, we get old. Promise me that we can do all that together, here in Retroville"
Jimmy smiled " As long as It's with you, I'll do anything. Jimmy pulled Cindy in for another passionate kiss under the snowfall.
A Retroville Christmas.
